Face to face is indeed a way of connecting spiritual power, but it is only one of many ways. Xie Xuanyang originally meant that the hands were held together to form a great spiritual power cycle. Although this method was not as effective as the previous one, it was enough to attract the soul. Furthermore, the former one is too intimate. With Xie Xuanyang's understanding of Qingxiao's temperament, Qingxiao would not use it, but he thought he was wrong.

Qing Xiao didn't know what intimacy was, so naturally he didn't react. But Xie Xuanyang was different from him, so he made a big red face, and when Qing Xiao got close again, he quickly pushed him away, explaining that as long as the two of them held each other's hands, it was enough.

If it wasn't for the rush to rescue Mo Lingyan now, Xie Xuanyang would have to preach to Qing Xiao and let him know that this kind of thing cannot be done lightly.

After Mo Lingyan was pierced by the dagger, he fell into a drowsy state. At first, he only felt a sharp pain in his heart, his body became colder and colder, and Bai Qishan's voice in his ears became more and more vague.

Suddenly there was a light on his body, as if something heavy was detached from him, and his hearing began to recover. He tried to open his eyes, and two hideous faces appeared in front of him, and when he looked closely, it was actually two people with bronze masks.

The two were wearing long shirts, one black and the other white, each holding a black iron chain in their hands, extending all the way to him.

Could it be that they are the legendary black and white impermanence? Mo Lingyan thought to himself.

"Who is it?" Mo Lingyan heard the two guardingly.

"Can the two gentlemen give this person to me?" Mo Lingyan recognized the voice of the person who came, it was Xie Xuanyang, a friend he had known for many years.

"Obstructing official business is a serious crime." The man in white sneered. His voice was cold, like a low cry from the abyss, "Don't say it's this world, you have to bear it for life, you have to think about it."

Xie Xuanyang didn't panic when he heard the words, he opened his hand to the two of them, and in his palm lay a black key covered with engravings, "You two, do you recognize this?"

Black and white paused when they saw this, and the chains in their hands loosened for a moment, making a crisp collision sound.

"It turned out to be the young master." Their attitudes turned against their former talents, and their tone was less serious. "But even so, we can't let people go. Young master, you should know the rules."

"It's because I know the rules that I came back here to ask for someone." Xie Xuanyang said, "It's better for the two of you to look through life and death, Mo Lingyan has not yet returned to his life."

"But his soul has left the body." The man in white said, "If the soul leaves the body on its own, it is already dead, even if you exchange it with the key of Huangquan Road."

Seeing that they were unwilling to let him go, Xie Xuanyang took a step forward, frowning slightly, "If I force him away, what will you do?"

The man in white was silent for a long time, he knew that if Xie Xuanyang used force with them, the two of them would not be able to get along. Not only that, it is not easy to explain to them when they go back. But if they let Mo Lingyan go, according to the rules, both of them must be punished.

Just as the two sides were at a stalemate, the bronze bell on the hand of the man in black rang four times, two rushes and two slows. After hearing this, the man in black leaned over to the man in white and whispered a few words.

The man in white sighed, "So that's the case, it seems that the young master has done a good job."

He tugged at the chain, and he didn't know how to do it. The chain wrapped around Mo Lingyan's body actually loosened, "Human, take it away."

"Then many thanks to the two of you." Xie Xuanyang bowed his thanks.

"No need." The man in white waved his hand, and the other hand gently tugged the chain on the ground and wrapped it around his arm, "Young master, remember, this person is not free. The two impermanent monarchs have orders, as the price of dignitaries. , you need to retrieve the Vientiane Box for us."

Xie Xuanyang, a member of the Vientiane Box, had heard about it from his uncle, and this thing and the Kuang and Key in his hand came from the hands of a powerful emperor of the prefecture. Kuanghe is the key to open the door of the vagina, and Vientiane is the box to collect all the souls and fulfill all wishes.

Although the Vientiane Box is one of the artifacts, its ability to fulfill all wishes is too deformed. Not only is it impossible to truly fulfill the wish, but it may also lead to disasters and turmoil in the world.

The thing that was supposed to be locked at the bottom of the abyss of evil spirits and guarded by ghosts was actually lost? Xie Xuanyang thought that this is a big trouble. This thing has a soul, and it is not easy to find it.

"What if I can't find it?" Xie Xuanyang asked. He might be able to find the trace of the Vientiane Box, but he couldn't guarantee that he would be able to take it back and give it to them.

"That would be ruined." The man in white said, "It's just a useless thing. Rather than let it disturb the world, it's better to let it disappear completely... Huh?" Ling Yan, "It seems that the person you want is sober."

As he said that, he raised his hand and stroked Mo Lingyan's face, and Mo Lingyan's more lucid consciousness became chaotic again. When he regained consciousness, the two had disappeared.

Mo Lingyan tried to move, and found that he was lying in the arms of a person, with bursts of pain coming from his heart.

"Hmm!" He groaned in pain.

"Liuyun!" Bai Qishan, who was hugging him, exclaimed, a surprised smile appeared on his heavy face. Xie Xuanyang really didn't lie to him, and Mo Lingyan was rescued.

"I... I'm not, dead?" Mo Lingyan didn't know what was going on. He clearly remembered that he was stabbed in the heart by a dagger, and then wrapped in a chain in a strange place. He wanted to sit up, but was pressed back by the hand on his chest, "Hey! Bai Qishan, are you going to kill me? Lightly."

"Don't move." The one who answered him was not Bai Qishan, who was holding him. This voice was cold and low, and Mo Lingyan was not familiar with it.

This, isn't this the voice of his master who is far away in Tianxianzong Jianfeng? ! Mo Lingyan's expression froze, and she turned her head stiffly. I saw that his master, who was like an immortal, was holding a person in his arms, and he was talking with his head down, and only threw him a cold look from the corner of his eyes. Mo Lingyan was stinged by the scratching in his eyes, as if an ice blade had cut his skin.

Where did he provoke Master? Mo Lingyan was inexplicable, and quickly asked Bai Qishan with his eyes. Bai Qishan also gave him a "see for yourself" look, signaling him to pay attention to the person in Qing Xiao's arms.

Only then did Mo Lingyan realize that the pale Xie Xuanyang was in his master's arms. Xie Xuanyang was uninjured, but he looked weak. He opened his eyes slightly, sweat dripping from his face, and his lips were unnaturally white.

"It's nothing, it's just that my spiritual power was exhausted for a while." Xie Xuanyang took a few deep breaths, and made a faint smile to make a few people feel more at ease.

The spiritual power that he had to consume by forcing his soul to escape to find Mo Lingyan's soul was too great and too fast, and the great spiritual power cycle that Qingxiao had established for him could not be filled in time, which is why he is now weak.

"Spiritual power?" Qing Xiao held Xie Xuanyang's hand tightly, and pressed Xie Xuanyang's chin. Xie Xuanyang was so shocked that he quickly pursed his lips, but he was forced to open his teeth to accept the aura from Qing Xiao.

Qing Xiao's action not only shocked Xie Xuanyang, but also scared the two people who were watching to death.

Mo Lingyan only suspected that something was wrong with her eyes. He has never seen his master get emotional, nor has he ever seen his master have close contact with anyone, not even shaking hands. Now that his master actually took the initiative to belittle Xie Xuanyang, could it be that the sky is falling

Master, isn't he a ruthless swordsman? Isn't it emotionless? !

Different from Mo Lingyan's shock, Bai Qishan was already furious. Previously, because of Mo Lingyan's relationship, he didn't notice Qingxiao's actions before Xie Xuanyang established a great spiritual power cycle. Now that Mo Lingyan is all right, he naturally didn't miss it again. He didn't know this method of quickly replenishing his spiritual power. Seeing Qingxiao doing this, he only thought that he was deliberately frivolous while Xie Xuanyang was weak.

I didn't expect that Qing Xiao was such a Taoist monarch, and he actually plotted against Xie Xuanyang! Only at this time did Bai Qishan remember the danger of Xie Xuanyang's handsome appearance again.

Bai Qishan's face was full of anger, his beard opened his eyes, and his teeth were rattling with anger. He suddenly lowered his head and stared at Mo Lingyan in his arms, his fierce eyes made Mo Lingyan feel terrified.

"What, what?" Mo Lingyan swallowed.

Bai Qishan snorted twice, loosened her hands, and ruthlessly threw Mo Lingyan in her arms to the ground, causing Mo Lingyan to scream.

"Bai Qishan, I'm a wounded!" Mo Lingyan cried out in pain, clutching the wound and wishing to roll.

"I see that you are full of anger, how can you look like a wounded person?" Bai Qishan sneered, and he didn't feel guilty at all when he turned his face and didn't recognize anyone.

"I saved you!" Mo Lingyan roared angrily, but when he followed Bai Qishan's line of sight to look at Qingxiao and Xie Xuanyang, who had not yet separated, he couldn't stand up. He seemed to see a future where he could no longer raise his head in front of Bai Qishan—his master behaved badly towards Master Bai Qishan.

However, Qing Xiao himself didn't know it. In his opinion, he was just supplementing the spiritual power of his friends who were exhausted. When he let go of Xie Xuanyang, Xie Xuanyang was out of breath, and his originally pale face became rosy.

"How do you..." Xie Xuanyang felt as if fire was burning on his face, so hot that he pressed the back of his hand to cool down, "Don't do this to others casually." He knew that Qing Xiao knew nothing about this kind of thing. The mind is very simple.

"No one else." Qing Xiao said, "Only for you."

Not for him either! Xie Xuanyang blushed and said, "This kind of thing... can only be done with Taoist companions."

Qing Xiao didn't change his expression, and stared straight at his face for a while before making a faint sound, which was a response to Xie Xuanyang's words. Xie Xuanyang patted his hand again, motioning to put him down, but Qing Xiao turned a deaf ear and turned his eyes to the other side.

There were two people there, a man and a woman. The woman is An Ran who has fallen into a coma, and the man is Qing Xiao's first disciple, Pop. Pop knelt on the ground, his hands were tied behind his back by invisible ropes, unable to move. His eyes stared at An Ran who was in a coma by the side, his eyes showing an unbearable look when he passed her abdomen.

"Popular." Qing Xiao's voice seemed to lift the seal that sealed the popular voice, and it also attracted everyone's attention.

"Master." Popular bowed his head and replied.

"Why?" Qing Xiao asked.

"Returning to Shizun, the disciple was entrusted by Uncle Shi Feng and sent a congratulatory gift to Junior Brother Bai." Popular said, "I didn't think the Cen family was not a human being! The disciple did not check, and Junior Brother and Junior Brother Bai suffered."

This is obviously not the answer Qing Xiao wanted. He looked at Pop's eyes, and his dark eyes seemed to see Pop through, "Why take away Liu Yun's jade pendant?"

"I don't!" Pop cried.

"Lie." Qing Xiao said. The life-saving jade pendant of the inner disciples is not desirable except for the same disciples who are in the same line. He only accepted two disciples, except for Mo Lingyan himself, only one popular person can take off the jade pendant.

"I didn't!" Pop said, "I'm Liu Yun's senior brother, I know it's Liu Yun's life-saving thing, how could I do such a thing? Master, why don't you believe me? It's just that the jade pendant is not there. Do you think I took it? Why don't you want Liu Yun to take it by himself, or someone close to him?"

The life-saving jade pendant of the inner disciple can be taken apart from the people of the same sect. In fact, there is one person who can take it off, that is, the intimate Taoist companion of the owner of the jade pendant who has a soul contract. This kind of situation rarely occurs, because the soul contract cannot be easily settled, and the two must have been fused together with blood and essence. The intersection of essence and blood also means a lifelong Taoist companion, one cannot be separated and then look for others, otherwise the cultivation base will go backward and no further refinement will be possible. Based on this, almost no one in the immortal world would choose this kind of Taoist companion contract.

He glanced at Xie Xuanyang in Qingxiao's arms, gritted his teeth and said, "Why does Shizun think it's me and doesn't think about the person in your arms? The two of them joined the sect together, and after joining the sect, they were always together, I'm afraid they would have long ago —”

"My relationship with Xuanyang is not like that!" Mo Lingyan interrupted him angrily.

"There is no basis for what you say, who knows how the two of you are." Popular glanced at him and ignored him, "Master, you see—"

"Shut up." Qing Xiao didn't want to listen to Pop's mouth full of nonsense anymore, his brows were slightly wrinkled, and the coercion of the fit period suddenly poured out, forcing Pop to spit out blood.

"Master, are you, are you also fascinated by Xie Xuanyang?" Pop pulled out a sarcastic smile.

Suddenly, a long sword flew toward him with a bang, stabbed An Ran's face into the ground, and the sharp blade stuck to her face, and it would cut through her skin as long as it strayed. Pop's eyes widened in shock at the sudden sword, and he stared at the sword beside An Ran's face.

"Senior Brother Pop, if you make things up again, the next sword will be directly pierced into her heart." Bai Qishan sneered.

He had already noticed that Pop always covered An Ran's woman with his body intentionally or unintentionally when he spoke, and his eyes couldn't help but drift over. He dared to say that the relationship between Pop and An Ran was by no means simple.

"I suggest Brother Pop, it's better to tell the truth." Bai Qishan pulled out another sword from the ruins on the side, weighed it lightly to test its feel, and pointed the tip of the sword to An Ran. go out.

The expression on Pop's face couldn't be maintained any longer. He lowered his eyes and remained silent for a long time, "In order to change her. Compared with her, the soul of the monk is more attractive to the Cen family."

"Liuyun is your junior brother!" Bai Qishan hated, "You are for a woman..."

"Ha." Pop sneered, "With the beloved of my family and a junior brother who has only been with me for a few years, who do you choose?"
